Good guess - but this is what a struck through cloth coin actually looks like: [ATTACH]
Yup, that's exactly what happened. The coin from Norway arrived first. The Russian coin is held up in customs (often happens, usually clears...
What's a "discord server?"
I ordered three coins last week, all on the same day. One was from Russia. One was from Norway. One was from Pennsylvania. All shipped via Fedex....
Insider is not on the PCGS forums. He did post it on NGC, however.
I know what you meant. To me, the dime is not worth the hype. 25 years ago when it was the very first W coin it may have been interesting (I was...

I think if you had posted decent pictures of the coin, my guess would have been very different. I can't think of a reason why the cameo looks so...
These are fantastic questions. Perhaps our ancestors may have answers. I certainly don't.
Can you show us a decent pic where the RPD is evident? Because I can't see anything with the tiny pics posted here.
While those are "different" pictures... they aren't "better" pictures.
